His entertainments were good. Hi'
recitations and crayon sketches were
creditable and his representation
were very fine. AS Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, as Sara Bernhardt and a.
Bridget MaGinnis, he brought dowI
the house. Notwithstanding the
merit of his entertainments we are
sorry to say that they were not well
patronized aud in getting Mr.. Smith
to come here, the G. A. II. did mol
make expenses.

knock your air castle into a cooked
hat at the first blow"

"As many of the business men,"
says an exchange. ''are in the habit
of mailing letters written at the
eleventh hour through the postal
clerks on the railroad, instead OF

they wilt be interested in knowing
that an order has been issued from
the department prohibiting postal
clerks from concelling stamps. Let
tiers mailed OH the train will be put
of at the next postolfice to be can
celled by the postmaster, which VIII
consequently delay such letter one
day. This order took effect OH the
fifteenth day of September"

Few men come up to their highest
measure of success. Some fail through
or lack of nerve. They are
to take the risks incident
to life, and fail through fear in VEN
turing on ordinary duties. They lack
pluck. Others fail through impru-
dence, lack of discretion. care or
sound judgment. They over-esti-
mate the future, and build air castles,
and venture beyond their depth, and
tail and fall. Others again, fail
through lack of application aud per-
They begin with good re-
solves, but soon get tired of that, and
want a change, thinking they can do
much better at something else. Thus
hey fritter life away, and succeed at
nothing. Others waste time and
money, and fail for want of economy.
Many fail through ruinous habits;
tobacco, whisky, and beer spoil them
Tor business, drive their best custo-
mers from them, and scatter their
prospects of success. Some fail for
want of brains, education, and fitness
for their calling; they lack knowl-
edge of human nature and of the
motives that actuate men. They have
not qualified themselves for their oc-
eupation by practical education,

The railway commissioners have
ordered three cent passenger rate
upon both the Manitoba and Northern
Pacific roads and, in accordance with
the law of the state, have declared
the tariff rates upon both roads
changed to correspond with their
order. Still the roads are collecting
the old four Gent rate. The action OF
the roads in this is clearly IN defiance
of law and we suggest that there is
now chance to have little fun
with them ut their own expense.
Next time you want to go anywhere,
if not very particular whether you
get there or not, offer the station
agent at the place of starting three
cents per mile for ticket to destina-
ton. He will refuse TO let you have
it. Next enter the cars. Offer the
the same amount. He will
refuse 1t and put you off the train.
Then you bring suit against the COM
pany for $4,000 damages, more or
less according to circumstances, and
get the money. Let this be tried all
along the lines so that two or three
hundred suits per day will be brought
against the companies during the
winter months and we feel certain
that by spring they will be ready to
obey the law and carry people for
three cents per mile.
